I own a 2017 LTZ Z71 and Have been considering taking the bed stickers off, and installing the Z71 badges on the front doors. The badges Iam looking at are from the factory, just like the ones on the midnight edition.

 

Looking for some feedback, thanks.IMG_0986.JPGIMG_0985.JPG

I have considered doing this as well, but I have really looked in to it yet. What are the cost of the emblems?

I ordered them from my dealerships parts dept. for 41.00 each. But he discounted them so I ended up paying $68.00 total.

Not bad. I guess the real question is how difficult will it be to remove the bed stickers.

I didn’t remove the rear stickers. I removed the Texas edition emblems, that sucked!, and added the large Z71 emblems. I like it. 4879ab12c04988c86d3dfa21546ca4ac.jpg

Did you just use the measurement from the old emblem, or place them by eye?

I removed the bed sticker from my z71.  It was very easy.  Left it sit in the sun for about an hour and it peeled right of.  Didn't have to use an tools or heat guns at all, just my fingernail.  Truck was about 8 months old when I did it, had no ghosting from the stickers.  I debadge the truck, except for the black bowtie on the tailgate.  I ordered the z71 door emblems, but I decided I liked the way it looked with no emblems.  May put them on at some point, but not for sure yet.

Awesome thanks for the info, I haven't even looked that close at mine yet and I wasn't sure if they were under the clear or not.

I just did this.....pretty easy mod to do. I used my old Silverado chrome letters as a reference line. Mind you this is a black 2011 but  the results are essentially the same.  The midnight edition emblems look great and pretty much would go with any color!

Thanks man I appreciate that! I use a product called Dri-Wash. Stuff works great and keeps the Black nice and polished. It’s a lot of work keeping up with it but I swear by the product.

It may need to be properly buffed. If the clear coat is hazy it won't like as good as it could.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
